    Learning objectives
    The aim of the course is to introduce students with the classification of polymer materials according to types of materials, their properties and their application, and to introduce them to mogućim načinima recikliranja recycling
    Learning outcomes
    Solve recycling problems using combining the acquired expert knowledge from the field of chemistry, solid waste management, as well as knowledge about the properties of natural and synthetic polymeric materials. Evaluate polymer products from the perspective of environmental effects and environmental impact on the product.
